United States Marine Corps Major Chris Collins will roar in his F/A-18 Hornet across the skies above Pensacola Beach, July 7-10 as part of
the Pensacola Beach Air Show. Collins joined the U. S. Navy's Blue Angels, Flight Demonstration Squadron, after graduating from Navy Fighter
Weapons School (TOPGUN) in 2007. He flew as the Blue Angels Left Wing pilot in 2009. He has accumulated more than 2,800 flight hours and
350 carrier arrested landings. His decorations include three Strike Flight Air Medals, two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals with
Combat Distinguishing Device, a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. Collins and the world famous Blue Angels performed for 8 million
fans last year. For more in this, see Page 2.

Look Up! Blue Angels Ready To Roar

The spirit of everyone who
loves Pensacola Beach will soar sky
high this week as they look up at the
heavens and not down to the sand.
Oil spill problems will be on the
back burner for the few days of Red,
White and Blues Week while Beach
locals welcome thousands of visi-
tors to enjoy the spectacular, world
famous Blue Angels Air Show. The
festivities will begin on Wednesday,
July 7 at 8 a.m. with the Blue Angels
flying circle and arrival maneuvers.
Wednesday is the perfect day for
guests and locals to enjoy breakfast
on the Beach and observe the first
portion of the event.
The Practice Show will be at
2 p.m. on Thursday, July 8. A full
dress rehearsal of the Beach Air
Show will begin at noon on Friday,
July 9. The complete Air Show,
which is like the eighth wonder of
the world to Pensacola fans, will
begin at noon on Saturday, July 10.
Warm-up acts will include local
Beach hotelier Julian MacQueen
flying his Grumman Widgeon G-44.
Others performing in the pre-
show will be Skip Stewart flying
Prometheus, Team RV, and Red and
the Dragon, presented by Dragon
Aviation.
The skies heat up and the
crowds along with them when Fat
Albert, the C-130 Hercules arrives,
announcing the beginning of the
thrilling air show at 2 p.m.
Blue Angels pilots are hand
picked for their ability to fly. They
do not receive extra pay, but con-
sider it to be an honor to be chosen

as part of the flight team. Their
contributions to the community are
perhaps less well known than their
exploits in the air.
Kellie Price is assigned to main-
tenance control with the Blue Angels
Flight Demonstration Team. She is
also a volunteer assistant teacher
in Debbie Cam-
panella's second
grade class at the
Pensacola Beach
Elementary School.
Price is well-
respected and loved
by the students for
reasons evidenced
in an interview
with second grade
journalist, Sophie
Faircloth.
"I do enjoy
my job as a Blue
Angel," Price said.
"As well as volun-
teering at PBES. Beach Sc

Botharevery simi- many Beach fan
lar but different." for her service wi
Price's duties Angels and the p
include tracking makes on her yo
pilot, engine and
aircraft hours and all maintenance
performed.
"Giving back is a feeling of
fulfillment and happiness knowing
I can share what I have learned,"
Price said.
Blue Angel volunteers pop up al-
most everywhere, like Harry Ramsa-
hai who took his job as a judge at the
Pensacola Beach Sandcastle Contest
during the Fiesta very seriously.

A few facts about the Blue
Angels:
The Blue Angels were es-
tablished in 1945 by the Chief of
Naval Operations, Admiral Chester
W. Nimitz.
The name was originated by
the original team in New York who
came across the name of a night
club Blue Angels in New York City.
An estimated ten million
spectators view the air shows each
year.
The team is stationed at
Forrest Sherman Field, NAS, Pen-
sacola.
The Blue Angels are sched-
uled to fly 68 air shows at 35 sites
during the 2010 season. For reams
of additional information, go to
www.blueangels.navy.mil.
Spectators are cautioned to
come to the Beach early. Bring
sunscreen, water and the other
paraphernalia for your safety and
comfort. The Air Show is visible
from all over the Island, but show
central is set up at Casino Beach.

The Vendors Tent hosts a va-
riety of food and merchandise
vendors as a convenience to specta-
tors. Ice, cold bottled water will be
available to quench your thirst with
proceeds going to a good cause.
"Each year the Beach Chamber
provides us a place at the Show
Central to sell water to benefit
the Santa Rosa Kids House," said
coordinator Karen Cook Cowen of
Cook Realty. "One hundred percent
of our proceeds are donated to help
the children."

All hotels, restaurants, bars,
gifts shops and vendors renting
miscellaneous types of land and
water equipment will be open. The
other weekend attractions will be
the Sounds of Summer concert fea-
turing The Blenders, Friday through
Sunday on the Boardwalk at 6 p.m.
The concerts are open to the public
at no charge.

Barefoot on the Beach

4606.

By Jane Waters Cooper 16a

We were total strangers. We
were not relatives. We all lived on
Ariola Drive on Pensacola Beach
and therein lies a tale. By some
ironic stroke of fate, two of us were
named Jane Waters and one went by
JJ Waters.
All of us JJ, who lived on
lower Ariola; Jane I, who lived in
middle Ariola; and Jane II, who
lived on upper Ariola, soon became
close friends as exclusive members
of the "Same Name Sorority."
It was a time of great frustra-
tion. The postman never could
figure out which Jane got what
mail. Delivering the mail to the
wrong person was routine for him.
He knew that Jane Waters lived
on Ariola. He just was never quite
sure which was which or who was
who. A day rarely went by when I
did not receive Jane I's or JJ's mail
and vice versa. At least, the postman
was consistent. He did not believe
in addresses. He believed in people.
Several times I went to the Post
Office and explained to them that
there were three J. Waters living on
Ariola Drive. Would the postman
please deliver to the address? They
responded by looking at me like I
was the five-year-old who took the
last cookies out of the jar... like I
was making this all up.
As it turned out, others joined
the confusion, florists, UPS, furni-
ture stores, Federal Express. It was
like a contagious disease. If I was
sitting home waiting for the delivery
of a new dishwasher, JJ was arguing

with the delivery man, explaining it
was not for her.
One time I received an award
from Clean and Green for my en-
vironmental writing. Only problem
was that it went to JJ's house. She
and her then husband, liked it so
much they kept it for a couple of
days and enjoyed it. By the time
they brought it to me, the balloons
were losing their air and the plant
was fading fast. Thanks, Clean and
Green!
One Christmas Jane called and
asked me if I knew anyone in Hous-
ton. I told her, yes, my sister lived
there. She said, "Oh heck, I thought
all these packages I got today were
from my long lost Aunt Allene. I
guess they are yours."
There could have been mass
confusion over the utility bills
which almost always went astray.
Fortunately, we looked at the ad-
dresses and made the proper ex-
changes, so our electricity was never
cut-off.
The stories are endless and bor-
ing, so no more. Except one.
Jean Curtis called Shelley
from the Visitor's Center to ask if
her mother was all right. I think so,
Shelley replied. Why?
Jean said a report had just come
from the police station that Jane Wa-
ters had flattened a thief in the Tom
Thumb driveway who was trying to
steal her car while she was filling it
with gasoline. It seems that "Jane I"
had received her college degree that
day and had bought a new car. She

was not about to let some hooligan
take off with it. Yes, that was the
other Jane.
Time and marriages ended
our little "Same Name Sorority."
JJ is still a Waters and she lives on
Ariola in the same house. She has
two grown sons and is the Sales
Director for CAT Country radio
station.
Jane I married Frank Taylor
(yes she, too, married a Frank). He

used to be the chef at Jubilee; and
he and Jane now own the popular,
upscale restaurant Global Grill in
Pensacola. Jane lived for many
years in Gulf Breeze, but now is
in Pensacola, I think.
They have one daughter and
twin sons.
And, me. I used to be the pub-
lisher of The Islander Newspaper.
Now, I am retired. Sort of. I have
had a new last name for 15 years,

thanks to my husband, Frank, so
"Cooper" has forever put an end to
the Waters saga. I still live in the
same house where I have lived for
more than thirty years.
I think of those two other J's of-
ten. They are both charming, witty,
smart and pretty. A smile crosses my
face when I realized that we bonded
by name only. And how we carried
that strange linkage into a lifelong
friendship.

Our Lady Cooks Up A Fun Time

Our Lady of the Assumption
is putting out the welcome mat
and firing up the grill for a free
"Pick Me Up Picnic" Sunday, July
18 from 3 to 7 p.m. The Church
is located at the corner of Via de
Luna and Avenida 18 on Pen-
sacola Beach.
"As part of our effort to
provide a little relief from the
obvious stresses causes by the oil
spill, we have decided to throw
a community party," said Stacey

Lewis, public relations director
for the St. Ann Parish which
includes Our Lady. We will be
serving up hot dogs and hamburg-
ers and provide activities for the
kids. Hope to see you there!"
Everyone is invited to the
free event. A waterslide will be
available for kids of all ages.
Our Lady of the Assumption
Catholic Mission hosts Mass each
Sunday beginning at 9:45 a.m.

Will wonders ever cease? The
Trivia Master was strutting around
saying, "I got 'em, this time for
sure."
He was asking for the names
of two little Beach munchkins who
were in a photo taken twenty-six
years ago. So along comes Sharon
Mattair, and emails, "Those babies
look like Lindsey Stanley and Jer-
emy Johnson."
Correct. She has known those
babies all of their lives, so this
knowledge wins a t-shirt for her.
Not far behind was Renee Mack
who also correctly identified both
kids. The Countess Kim LoBue
recognized the two and sent her
answer for good measure.
Debbie Campanella, who
should have recognized her former
students, was half right. She identi-
fied Lindsey, but thought the little
boy was Harry Newkirk.

qui Sisk, did some hard core re-
search and came up first with Jimmy
and Lucy Buffett and later, Jessie
and Ann Brown, children of the
owners of the Native Caf6. Then,
she made one more wild guess. She
said they were Shelley Johnson's
children, Liz and Harry. Oops,
sorry. Liz is her sister and Harry
is her nephew. Try again, Jacqui.
We'll plan a question which is not
so "old beach."
Lindsey Stanley is a licensed
boat captain. She attended the Beach
School and was once a cheerleader
at Gulf Breeze Middle School. She
is now the pretty bartender you see
everyday at the Paradise Bar and
Grill. Her son Easton, described as
a "pistol" will be three in Novem-
ber. Lindsey was competing in a
beauty pageant as a one-year-old
in the photo.

away from Paradise at Island Realty

where he is a broker-associate Re-
altor. He was two-years-old when
the photo was taken and obviously
didn't think a beauty pageant was
the coolest thing to watch. He
played football at Gulf Breeze High
School, graduated from the Univer-
sity of Florida in 2004 and married
Rachael Edwards two weeks later.
The Trivia Master really likes
the taste of his next question.
National S'mores Day will be cel-
ebrated August 10. A Florida hotel
will be serving S'more martinis and
holding a S'mores cookoff. Canyou
supply the original recipe for this

the exact recipe, you will be the chef

Waters Withdraws

From SRIA Race
Campanella Is Unopposed

JJ Waters, who has lived on
Santa Rosa Island for over two de-
cades and serves aboard the Island
Beautification Steering Committee,
has withdrawn her name from the
list of candidates running for the
one elected seat on the Santa Rosa
Island Authority Board.
With the recent oil spill, the de-
mands of her current job with CAT
Country radio station have grown.
"Due to the circumstances, I
must withdraw. I will continue to
do whatever I can to support the
welfare of the island and the well
being of our islanders, and intend to
be involved at whatever capacity I
can, to that end," she said.
Incumbent Dr. Thomas Cam-
panella, who has held the seat for
the last 8 years, will continue to
serve. He is running unopposed.

I am so proud of our Wooly
Booger Queen Shugah Shelley
Johnson. (I call her my Deuce
Queen ShelleyBean because she's
also the Queen of the Krewe of
Wrecks) What a fabulous job she's
done with her very first storm. We
have nothing to worry about Island-
ers; we are in very good and power-
ful hands. See, y'all thought that
whole altar thing was just a bunch
of hoo-haa. Well you were wrong;
it was a whole bunch of Hoo-Doo,
We-Doo and other powerful stuff
happening You need to believe.....
you'll see.
I certainly believe this is the
quietest summer I've ever seen on
this Island. I called one of the local
eateries and ordered dinner to pick-
up one Saturday evening at 6:30 in
late June. I easily found parking
and there was only one customer
when I entered the shop. Normally
I would not even consider trying to
order food from anywhere on the
Island during the summer. At the
most, we would just order pizza and
let them fight their way through the
crowds and traffic. I am almost at

a loss for words -
Well, not really! Had you
going for a minute there, though,
didn't I? But hey we've got a lot
of fun stuff that happens in July. If
it's just us Islanders here to enjoy
it, then we'll put our tiaras on and
go enjoy. And while I certainly
don't have enough money to keep
all our business establishments in
the style to which they've become
accustomed during the summer, I
will spend what I have right here.
And I will spread it around to as
many places as possible.
Some of you may have to take
turns, or I will see you the next
month, but I'll get there. And I
won't be alone. (Wow! That kinda
sounds more like a threat, huh?) No,
really I do have a couple of friends.
I hope all of you will join me
this month for COLORS (Cel-
ebration of Life on the Republic
of Sandspurs). It's on Thursday,
July 15 from 5-7 p.m. and we'll be
visiting Castaways. I talked to the
manager Jimmy Wilcher and they're
expecting us, so it's all set. It's lots
of fun and there's nothing to join.

Just socializing, celebrating our
lives and taking advantage of the
Happy Hour prices. I've seen their
advertisement (in this newspaper,
of course) and I do believe these
people really know how to make
an hour happy. I'm going to find
out for sure!
One of my friends, Peggy Hen-
shall, recently asked my advice on
wearing those see-through dresses I
like so much. "Do you need to wear
a slip?" she inquired.
Unfortunately, she sent me an
e-mail instead of calling me and
she was leaving for a trip the next
day. I'm much faster with the tele-
phone. So I'm just now answering
her question and I believe it needs
to be shared. Peggy is not the only
one with this dilemma because those
dresses are very "hot" this year in
the Island fashion world. It's be-
cause they are cooler than anything
else. And, to me, a slip totally
defeats the whole "cooler"purpose.
The only thing anyone can see
"through" the dress is the outline
of your legs. I swear it! Don't let
anyone fool you because these same
legs would be completely exposed
to viewing if you wore shorts or a
swim suit. So, if someone tells me,
"I can see through your dress" my
standard answer will always be, "I
don't care!" If you do, then you
need a slip!
In the meantime, I'm getting
ready for the friends who will be
joining Bill and me to watch our
beloved Blue Angels mesmerize
us with their always amazing per-
formance. We have an excellent
view from our deck so we invite
friends for the full dress rehearsal
performance on Friday. Of course,
we make sure to have plenty of good

food and beverages. Although who
knows what it will be this year? If
it's as hot as usual, then that means
lots of cold stuff. Maybe some nice
cold chicken salad with ice-cold
grapes and I've got to have a frozen
banana covered with chocolate.
Since it has been so very, very
hot lately, (you know that "too hot
to move" kind of heat?) I've come
up with the perfect dessert. I'm

Asks For Local Patronage
Togetherness has deep meaning
for the members of the Pensacola
Beach Chamber of Commerce as
they make plans to convince guests
to continue to come to the Beach, oil
or no oil. At their meeting on June
29, the 123 member organization
vowed to stick together and keep
Beach business alive.
Jeff Elbert, president, told
the members, "We have a great
Chamber. Our work is worthwhile.
We need to work together to get
through this. We need to support
our neighbor businesses, shop, eat
and emphasize this to our families,
friends, customers and clients."
Maureen LaMar, executive
director, said the parking lot at the
Casino Beach would be cleared of oil
related equipment for the Air Show.
"Parking availability is impor-
tant as well as the overall impression
and look of the main beach area,"
said Robbie Lofty, Santa Rosa Is-
land Authority events coordinator.
During the report from busi-
nesses, most reported that volume
was down, especially at hotels.
Mike Nixon, director of opera-
tions for Innisfree Hotel Corpora-
tion, said, "May should have been
way up. We were trending up, but
the numbers will be a little flat if
not down. When June's report be-
comes available, I think you will
see the impact of the oil spill. The
perception is terrible and it does not
need to be."
The Chamber Board has been
invited to the Hospice Evening of
Comedy, August 14 at the Hilton as
a thank you for their coordination of
the Go Irish on the Island donation
to Hospice.
Robert Gleim, district manager
for Homestar Restaurants sent the
members away laughing when he
told them to look at the three white
swans swimming in the Sound.
"They are still all white," he
said.
The next Chamber meeting will
be at 8:30 a.m. at the Days Inn on
Tuesday, July 27. Business After
Hours will be the same day at 5:30
p.m. at the Sabine Sandbar.

THE SEAGULLS SING
The disaster in the Gulf has the Island Poets Society on high alert.
Many have submitted poems, songs and free verse to share.

GulfDisaster The Heart of the Fisherma%
By Lloyd Hess A Song by Karen Rimer Jurkowich
S 6/7/10
It started with an explosion
Far out in the Gulf. In the eyes of the Fisherman I ask you now, sir,
Eleven men lost their lives Can you see the heartbreak of generations gone?
And that was bad enough. A sweet glance, a shared hope for what used to be.
Will we ever get back there again?
The amount of water put on the fire
Caused the rig to sink. In the soul of the Fisherman, the spark is fading fast,
That may not have been the cause As he looks out to sunsets and marshes steeped in oil.
But it's what the experts think. The precious coast is calling him, but there's nowhere he can go.
Will he ever get back there again?
They couldn't get the well head sealed
Though they tried for about a week. Refrain:
BP tried to tell the world Our shores were pristine then and children would play;
That it was a tiny leak. Families would g-ah,. and while away the day.
Hearts filled with memories oh, where can we turn?
That proved not to be the case To the heart of the Fisherman.
As the oil continued to flow
The country watched in horror To the family of the Fisherman, our hope is with you now.
As the slick began to grow. A new day, a new dawn, we'll get there once again.
Walk with me strengthening our purposeful stride.
Louisiana was the first state Yes, I know we'll get back there again,
To see oil come ashore. To the heart of the Fisherman.
At first it was just some tar balls
Then later so much more. Refrain:
Our shores will be pristine again and children will play;
They tried to save the animals Families will g,ah,. and while away the day.
Covered in oily slime. Hearts filled with memories oh, where can we turn?
Many thousands of them will die. To the heart of the Fisherman. Yes, the heart of the Fisherman.
It's just a matter of time.

Lemons To

Help

Oiled

Wildlife
Jonathon and Kaitlyn Wagner,
ages 7 and 9, from Port Charlotte,
Florida, donated the $800 they
raised from a lemonade stand to the
Gulf Winds Wildlife Relief Fund to
support the Wildlife Sanctuary of
Northwest Florida.
"My children were devastated
by the pictures of the oil-covered
birds on the news," says their
mother, Carolyn Wagner. "They im-
mediately got to work and raised all
of this money on their own."
The Wagner family drove to
Pensacola, June 29, and presented a
check to the Wildlife Sanctuary Di-
rector, Dorothy Kaufmann, and the
Gulf Winds Wildlife Relief Fund.
The Wildlife Sanctuary of
Northwest Florida is a non-profit
organization working to provide
appropriate care to injured and or-
phaned indigenous wildlife.

Sanctuary or donations, visit www.

Buck Lee, Santa Rosa Island
Authority Executive Director, made
every effort to clear the air around the
oily waters which are often making
their way to the shores of Pensacola
Beach.
Members of the local and na-
tional media attended his press
conference on Wednesday, June 30
when he told them, "The Beach is
never closed. The Beach is open for
sunning, picnicking, playing horse-
shoes or doing whatever you want to
do on the sand."
The Gulf of Mexico is a differ-
ent matter.
"Last Wednesday (June 23)
we had a large influx of oil and by
products so we closed the Gulf water
to swimmers," Lee said.
Frustrations arise when it comes
to closing the water. Apparently,
there is no real way to determine the
safety of the water for swimming.
In view of the lack of scientific
reports, Bob West, SRIA Director of
Safety, and Lee, rely on aerial views
of the water, maps regarding the
position and locations of oil, updates
on all official reports and test results.
"We are making visual in-

spections by flyovers from the air.
Each morning lifeguards patrol in
vehicles over eight miles of the
beach. They report results to Bob
West," said Lee.
Lee stood firm in his belief that
closing the Gulf is a public health
issue, not a safety issue.
"People need to use common
sense before entering the Gulf. In
my opinion there is a real need to
be able to test the water quality
and receive an immediate result.
Until that happens we will have to
continue to observe by land and by
air," Lee said.
Keith Wilkins, Escambia Coun-
ty Bureau Chief, voiced his frustra-
tion as well with the lack of scien-
tific evidence of the water quality.
"As a scientist, I have been
quite frustrated with the fact that
there is no science in place to tell
us what the acceptable levels of hy-
drocarbon in the water is," Wilkins
said. "Agencies at all levels, federal,
state, local and health departments
are trying to develop water safety
standards. Based on the lack of
data we have to err on the side of
caution."

The University of West Florida
is taking water samples in six swim
locations and testing it, but it takes
days to get the results.
Buck Lee said to the press,
"You must believe me when I say
that West and I had to make a deci-
sion on June 23 of what we thought
was best for the safety of our resi-
dents and visitors."
West added, "We will use com-
mon sense in deploying lifeguards
into the Gulf when there is oil pres-
ent. If the water looks bad, please
use common sense. The oil is not
really a public safety issue; it is a
public health issue."
In answer to the press corps'
questions, Wilkins said some people
would be more sensitive to the oil
than others, so the health issue
varies.
Lee closed the meeting by
sending a request through the media
that visitors and locals should come
to Pensacola Beach.
"We will continue to monitor
this situation day by day and expect
things to change with the tide. The
Blue Angels will go on as sched-
uled. God Bless America."

GIVE 'EM A SHOUT
Becky Azelton, Aide in Com-

Q: "Can I recover a file that I
deleted?"
A: Recovery of a deleted file
is simple if the file went into the
"Recycle Bin" on your desktop.
To see if the file is in the Recycle
Bin, click on that icon to view its
contents. If the file is found there,
right-click it with your mouse and
then click "Restore." The file will
return to its original location.
If the file is not in the Recycle
Bin, the task becomes more diffi-
cult. If it is critical that you restore
the file, you should immediately
turn your computer off. The file,
even though deleted, may still be
intact but hidden on the hard disk.
Continuing to use the computer
might cause the deleted file to be
over-written by the Windows soft-
ware.
The hard disk would have to
be removed from the computer
for examination with specialized
recovery software. The software
can be purchased, or downloaded
as a trial copy, through the Internet.

It should be installed on a separate
computer, so that you do not risk
over-writing the deleted file. The
hard disk containing the deleted file
can be attached to a computer by in-
serting it into an external case, then
connecting the case to the computer
with a USB cable. The recovery
software examines the hard disk
and locates the deleted file. You can
then save the file to a new location
on the computer.

If all that sounds too compli-
cated, the hard disk can be shipped
to a recovery service, such as On
Track Recovery. There it will be
examined by trained specialists,
who are usually successful at re-
trieving all or most of the data. It
is an expensive operation though,
with recovery costs starting in the
$1,000 range.
For questions, contact Joe at
joc l|palS comi or 206-3156.

Just image that everything
you have been told is not exactly
true. And further imagine that
your ancestors are not from this
planet. What would you do if all of
a sudden, visiting extraterrestrial
beings showed up and said, "We're
Grandma and Grandpa!"
Would you faint, run, hide,
embrace them, shake their "hands,"
ask them questions? And what if
your next door neighbors' family
looked totally different a group
of beings from another galaxy -
what would you do then?
I think about these things a
lot. I rather like the idea of having
"other people" from another planet
in this Universe or possibly an-
other Universe. I would hope that
they understand the meaning of
peaceful coexistence, something
humans haven't figured out yet.

him the points to secure the title.
"These are three fine poker

Beach poker commissioner. "We
are lucky to have the high quality
of play that we do."

a second place finish on July 1."

Earth could no longer support her
multitude of inhabitants? What if
you had the opportunity to go to
another planet to become the
"Pilgrims or Robinson Crusoe"
of the planet? Would you consider
leaving Earth? Would you want
to travel and explore the Star
systems? What if "your people"
offered that to you as an alterna-
tive to staying on Earth? Would
you go?
I wonder what it would be like
to discover other dimensions rather
than just living with the ones we
have. This, of course, brings to
mind one of the best episodes of
"The Twilight Zone."
Do you think that we will
discover another dimension in this
century?
It is good to think. Maybe it
should be promoted more in school
- to think for one's self.
What do you think?

his early years before moving to Hawaii to be-
come a professional paddle boarder. During
a recent visit to Pensacola Beach, Trout, left,
spent time with his former school teacher, Deb-
bie Campanella.

the Gulf Coast Stand Up Paddle Champion-
ships in Maderia Beach, Florida on Saturday
May 22. He finished the 9 mile race in first place
in the Elite Class paddling division.

Shark is on the menu this week
as the boys, Justin Scher and Big
Brandon Carey, took in a couple of
Black Tips off the coast using kay-
aks to set their bait.
"Cut Ladyfish on the bottom
and we weren't out there an hour
before we were beached and were
packing to head home," Justin said.
"Get the fillet knife out!"
The shallows are full of the
Gulfs bounty with everyone try-
ing to find fresh saltwater to live

in. The inshore fishing has been
great with the Big Three- Specks,
Flounder and Redfish ready and
waiting for something to do. Har-
vesting and freezing is a good idea
right now. It is very hard these
days to go fishing' and write about
what I find.
Everyone, call your Congress-
person or better yet call The White
House and make yourselves heard
before we can't Go Fishin' at all.
Be kind to each other.
